石佳博,Jiabo Shi co mpleted his Ph.D. from National Engineering Laboratory for Cleaner Technology of Leather Processing at Sichuan University (Chengdu) in 2017.He is currently working at College of Bioresources Chemical and Materials Engineering of Shaanxi University of Science & Technology (Xi an).His research interests focus on multifunctional biopolymer-based nanocoites inspired by fundamental collagen and leather chemistry and development of cleaner leather chemicals and technologies., 林炜,Wei Lin received her Ph.D. in Leather Chemistry and Engineering at SichuanUniversity (Chengdu) in June 2000.She moved to University of Science and Technology of China (Hefei) in September 2000 as a postdoctoral fellow for two years under the supervision of Professor ingshi Zhu and Professor Chi Wu. After an additional postdoctoral research associate in Professor Michal Borkovec s groupin the Department of Inorganic,Analytical and Applied Chemistry at University of Geneva during April 2003 to August 2005,she returned to the Department of Biomass and Leather Engincering at Sichuan Universiy,npoted to Full Professor in June 2006.In 2019,she was elected as Distinguished Professor of Yangtze River Scholar from the Ministry of Education. Her research interests center on environmental-friendly leather chemicals and leather-making process. She focuses on studying macromolecular structure and property of collagen and its interactions with tanning substances,as well as collagen-based biomass materials She also focuses on the design and developing environmental-friendly chrome-free tannage,and the risk screening of the chemicals used in leather-making.
